Lovely details Nenad. If there wasn't your hand for reference I would think the scale was bigger than it actually is. Nick

Hi Mike That does look like a very nice kit. I'll pull up a comfy chair and join you on this one! I'm sure you'll do a good job job of it. Nick

Evening all First of all thanks for all the comments and the likes. Finally got round to taking a couple of shots with the SLR. I've sanded down one side and sorted out all the gun ports so hopefully they are all the same size (more or less ) First of all here's the non sanded side for comparison. And then the sanded side. Sanding and gun port sorting out probably took around 8 hours ish. Thanks for looking. Nick

Hi Mike Looking good! Completely agree with you about not settling for something you're not happy about. If it's niggling now it will niggle later when you can't change it . Nick

Evening all Minor update but mini major milestone as far as I'm concerned. I've finished replanking what I ripped off last August! Only took me 9 months! A loooooooooot longer than I thought but oh so worth it. So back to finishing the second planking. One band of 9 planks to do. That won't take long right?!? Thanks for looking Nick

Hi Mark You're right. He's only got a "and here's one I made earlier!" ... oh well the thought was there. Nick

Hi Mark Do you have B. Frohlich's book? Might be worth looking in there to see if he says how he has done it. If I remember I'll look this evening. Great work by the way! Your dedication to get it right is an example for all of us to follow! Nick

Hi Mike Thank you very much for your comment! .It is walnut I can assure you . The walnut above the yellow wood (can't remember name...) came with the kit and the walnut below I ordered from Jotika and they do match. However I also got some other walnut (supposedly) that looks nothing like what I'm using now so go figure. I know you can get dark walnut as well. Maybe that's what you're thinking of? Cheers Nick

Hi guys Thanks for the feedback! I completely agree as long as it at least looks like the same species of wood! My lighting setup in my garage ( two fluorescent bulbs) doesnt help show what I mean on the photos. I probably should take some pictures with natural light but UK weather is not the best at the moment!! sure does... it already is Nigel! Cheers Nick

Evening all time for my 8 monthly update . Where does time fly? Oh yeah work, kids, sleep, etc . Finally got one side replanked. I'm much happier with the result. Here's an overall shot to start off with. Here's a couple of before and after shots. and finally Just need to finish the other side and then I'm back exactly where I was in the summer last year! Nick
